It's legal to shout "fire!" in a theater if you believe there is a fire in the theater.

And I don't think there's any reason to believe that these YouTubers don't believe their allegations.

Anybody can claim that they believe whatever lie they spread. It is in fact impossible to asses whether they’re lying what they believe.

If things are backed by evidence is a whole different story (but it is not)
